THEATER APOLLON

The Apollon Municipal Theater is a work of art that testifies the cultural development of Ermoupolis. Built in 1864 on Vardaka square in the heart of the town by the Italian architect Pietro Sampo who has incorporated several architectural influences from the Italian and French, the Municipal Theater Apollon is considered by many a miniature of Scala di Milano. This is a two-storey building characterized by a simple architectural design on its exterior with dominant elements such as the marble on its basis, the vertical shafts, the architrave, the cornice, the arches and rectangular windows. The Interior of the theater will certainly leave visitors in awe. Initially the interior of the theatre was composed of a 9×10 meters stage, wooden seats, handrails and velvet curtains. After the damages it suffered during the second world war the theatre had lost all of its glamour. From 1970 and until 2000 it began to be rebuilt according to the designs of Peter Pikionis and reopened for the first time in 2002. Today as one of the most impressive cultural centers of the Cyclades, the Apollon municipal theater hosts numerous cultural events and festivals.
